SWIFT Generic Library

The SWIFT OTD Libraries for 2008 include a Generic OTD used to route SWIFT messages. The Generic OTD can be used to parse any validSWIFT message, allowing you to unmarshal and read the message headers to determine the message type, while leaving the message dataas a String. Messages can then be routed to the appropriate OTD for that message type.

SWIFT Message Library JAR Files

The SWIFT Message Library include two JAR files, bic.jar, and SwiftOTDLibrary.jar, that are visible from the Project Explorer’s Swift directory.These JAR files provide the classes and methods that support the Validation Collaborations.
